Mobile New chat now opens directly with the synced Bestie selected. The
first send creates and names the chat; leaving an empty draft creates
nothing. New and existing Solo chats can select or clear a workspace
from the header popover, with a checkmark for the active choice and a No
Workspace option. Workspace and agent controls have separate iOS glass
surfaces, Bestie stays at the far right, and Back uses a chevron. The
agent sheet fits its list, with scrolling for long lists. Workspace
creation stays in the Home New menu.
The New menu groups Solo above Team. Android expands across the full
control row; iOS keeps its native menu while Search and Bestie merge
into New through Liquid Glass, with synchronized icon motion and the
residual glass fading away. Empty workspaces use a compact, muted
message.
Validation: 4,055 mobile tests passed (34 skipped), static analysis
passed, and native menu checks passed. Earlier physical-device previews
and the iPhone New-menu animation were visually approved before this
consolidation.
This PR consolidates the controls previously developed in #8891 into the
existing draft/first-send implementation. The New menu animations,
attachment handling, and durable retries remain in this PR. The combined
controls have widget interaction coverage; the combined build has not
yet had a new physical-device walkthrough.
Current combined controls below are Android Flutter widget renders with
fixture data, not device screenshots. Images are GitHub attachments
only.

Replace the mobile Agents sheet with a full-page directory of verified
owned agents. Add dedicated creation and avatar pages with
catalog-backed model selection, reuse the profile emoji/photo/camera
controls, and expose Builderbot model settings while labeling desktop
agents “Manage on desktop.” Share one account-scoped model catalog
across editable cards and retries. Choose Bestie from the agent profile
using the shared encrypted main-agent record (text-only action, filled
star once selected), and move confirmed deletion to a top-left trash
control with native iOS glass. Include uploaded avatars in owner
registrations so desktop can display them.
Validation: mobile analysis and all 3,958 hosted-enabled app tests
passed; default-build tests run by the push hook. Earlier iPhone build
installed and iterated with the user; the current iOS build succeeds,
but final changes still need a device pass. Independent review found no
new blockers. Actual camera capture and live Bestie sync remain
unconfirmed; the existing shared `main-agent` wire format and Bestie
terminology are retained.

## Summary
Unify mobile conversations in Messages with All / Solo / Team filters, a
collapsing header, and separate Search, New, and default-agent
shortcuts. Move workspace actions into the community menu and keep
collapsed sections intact across filters.
Align Inbox and list typography, spacing, and muted controls. Preserve
native glass layering through navigation and give every filtered list
enough clearance above the footer. The default-agent shortcut reads the
shared encrypted preference and opens an existing chat immediately. When
unset, it opens Agents; a star action selects the default through a
production signed, self-encrypted preference writer. Save failures
remain visible and retryable.
Android now uses rounded navigation controls and filters, optically
balanced search icons, and expanding New/community menus with leading
Tabler icons matching iOS. Preset avatars retain transparent WebM
animation through an Android WebView renderer, with lifecycle pausing
and poster fallback.
### Related issue
None found in searches for mobile navigation issues and open PRs.
### Testing
- Android follow-up: ARM64 debug build, Dart analysis, and emulator
checks passed for menu placement, selection, icon alignment, search, and
avatar playback/pause/resume. The avatar implementation passed 3,840
Flutter tests and native Android tests before subsequent styling
iterations. Automated tests for the later menu/icon iterations were
skipped at the author’s request; those earlier results do not cover the
final styling changes.
- Mobile formatting/analysis and full test suite (3,838 passed, 23
skipped, plus 4 push-configuration tests); regression journey covers
filtering, collapse retention, and scrolling the last Solo row above the
footer.
- iPhone 18 Pro simulator (Honeycomb): filters, menus, Inbox,
Invite/Back, Switch Community, and default-agent chat/Back exercised.
iOS release build and Pairing Preview install/launch passed during
iteration, preserving the saved profile.
- P1 follow-up: production writer-to-reader widget journey covers
selection, publish failure/retry, and the unset footer opening Agents.
Simulator Agents open/close passes; its saved community has no
selectable agents, so live selection was not verified there.
- Independent agent review completed; its Solo footer-clearance finding
is fixed. The final clearance adjustment is covered by widget tests;
physical-device acceptance of that adjustment and hosted CI remain
pending.
Final Messages layout:
Switcher layering during iteration (before → after):
| Before: filter edge showing through | After: Home hidden behind
switcher |
